 FOREWORD

The challenge of an enriched and improved instructional pro-
gram of education for Kentucky youth presented by the Foundation
Program Law Will be accepted by the schools of our Commonwealth.
The Foundation Program will be fully financed in the school year
1956-57. The time has arrived, therefore, for sound and effective
planning for full implementation of every provision of the law for
the operation of the schools and for improvement of instructional
programs in the classrooms.

Significant provisions of the Foundation Program Law relate
to the units for administrative and special instructional services, and
for supervisors and directors of pupil personnel. In keeping With
these provisions, the State Board of Education has adopted regula-
tion (SBE-IS-FP-l) and criteria for approval of each of these types
of units. This regulation (SBE—IS-FP—l) together with the criteria
are presented in this publication. The State Department of Educa-
tion, with the cooperation and assistance of many school people
throughout the State, developed criteria to be used by superinten-

dents and boards of education in planning for full utilization of all
types of ASIS units, and units for supervisors of instruction and
directors of pupil personnel. These criteria relate to qualified per-
sonnel, programs, facilities, and plans for further improvement.

I am pleased to present in this Bulletin the criteria as approved
by the State Board of Education for the information and guidance
of school officials and board members of local school systems.

I express deep appreciation to all persons listed in the Appendix
Who assisted in the development of the criteria contained in this
bulletin. Also, appreciation is expressed to the members of the staff
of the State Department of Education Who served as the editing
committee: Mr. James L. Sublett, Mr. Don Bale, Miss Gwen Rether-
ford, Miss Louise Combs, and Dr. Ellis F. Hartford.

GREETINGS

We, the members of the State Board of Education, join with the
Department of Education in an expression of greetings and hearty
good wishes to the boards of education and superintendents for the
full utilization of the criteria for units of A818 personnel, supervisor,
and director of pupil personnel as approved on March 15, 1956, and
presented in this Bulletin.

We view the opportunity thus presented as one of the most
promising developments for the instructional programs of our schools
and one of'the most significantly helpful provisions of the Founda-
tion Program Law. The State Board of Education confidently looks
forward to a period of great accomplishment and enrichment in our
school programs as the local boards of education undertake to make
policies and plans for the comprehensive and economical administra-
tion of the Foundation Program funds with the same prudence and
wisdom they exercise in levying and expending local tax monies.

We shall be serving you in full knowledge that the educational
services embodied in the Foundation Program Law will be provided
in our schools to the degree that local responsibility is accepted and
local initiative is present. We hold the belief that local responsibility
and local initiative will determine in a large measure the success
of the Foundation Program of Education. The State Board of Edu-
cation and the State Department of Education deem it a great
privilege to be joined with local boards of education and administra-
tors in this great enterprise designed for the improvement of the
quality of education of Kentucky’s boys and girls.

 INTRODUCTION

Criteria contained in this publication for approval of certain

 

 

;he administrative, supervisory, and instructional units were approved
fty by the State Board of Education on March 15, 1956, for guidance to
:he local superintendents and boards of education in requesting approval
or of these units by the State Department of Education. Both in apply-
nd ing for approval of units and in granting approval on basis of these
criteria the following principles provide helpful guide lines:
1. Continuing improvement in instruction requires continuing
OSt growth on part of school personnel. Therefore, all personnel
015 referred to in these criteria should participate in professional
la- ’ activities and in any in—service programs sponsored by the
DkS State Department of Education for school personnel.
iur 2. Planning for utilization of special personnel in light of the
overall needs in the education program in the total school
he system is of prime importance. An overall plan for a balanced
ra- instructional program should be submitted by the superinten—
nd dent as a part of the application for tentative approval of ASIS
units, supervisors of instruction and directors of pupil person-
} nel. The detailed program plan required under the criteria for
1&1 each unit requested should be submitted with the annual or—
.ed ganization and high school reports for each school.
11d 3. Temporary approval takes into account existing limiting factors
, and provides time for improvement. Existing programs for
lty which ASIS units are requested which do not meet minimum
ess requirements as set forth in the criteria or in other regulations
111. ) of the State Board of Education may be given temporary ap—
3at proval. As a condition of such temporary approval, plans for
development and improvement shall be submitted by the

ra- superintendent and approved by the appropriate Divisions and

;he Bureaus of the State Department of Education and submitted
to the Superintendent of Public Instruction for final action.

4. Approval for a unit (full—time) requires devotion to special
unit duties for the full day. Time allotment for a special unit
shall be based upon the amount of actual time (fraction or part
of a school day) spent in carrying out the duties of the unit.
Full—time shall mean the use of all periods in duties specifically
related to the special unit.

Legal guide lines are found in KRS, Section 157.320 (14) and
KRS, Section 157.410. The first defines “teacher” as follows:

> “. . . any full—time regular or special teacher, principal, supervisor,

superintendent, assistant superintendent, librarian, director of pupil

personnel, or other full—time member of the teaching or professional

staff engaged in the service of the public elementary and secondary

school for whom certification is required as a condition of employ—
ment.”

The second provides for payment of funds to officials of school dis-
tricts:

“

. . . when the districts have fully complied with the school laws,
rules, and regulations of the State Department of Education.”

The staff of the State Department of Education will be available
at all times to work with local school personnel in realizing the
opportunities implicit in the criteria designed to implement certain
provisions of the Foundation Program Law. ‘

Each criterion in this publication represents the very minimum
standard which is required. These criteria, therefore, represent the
beginning, only, of a good school program. May each school system
be challenged to develop a continuing program of improvement and
may some system develop a program of education within a few years,
not yet dreamed of for Kentucky’s children and youth.

D. Physical Facilities

1. The functional design of the school plant for physical
education should be predicated upon its use as a com-
munity center for recreation as well as an educational
unit for the school system. The facilities should be
planned to equitably meet the needs of a modern pro-
gram of physical education and recreation. Intelligent
planning requires consultation with and the cooperation
of those who are to use the facilities, the coach, the
physical and health educator and others who will con-
duct the activities. The proper number of teaching sta-
tions should be provided in the construction of gym-
nasia and playfields as specified by the “Guide for
Planning Facilities for Athletics, Physical Education
and Health Education.”
